Coconut Flan Or Queso De Coco Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place 1 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook gently, without stirring, but shaking occasionally until the sugar has melted. Continue cooking until the sugar has completely melted, and turned golden brown. Pour into a large, glass baking dish. Spread the caramel evenly over the bottom of the dish, then set aside to cool for 15 minutes before proceeding.
• Once the caramel has hardened, pour the condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and coconut into a blender. Blend for 3 minutes until smooth. Pour into baking dish over the caramel.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until set. When done, remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the dish to separate the flan from the sides. Refrigerate overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir sugar with a wooden spoon until melted and golden, about 10 minutes. Caramel is very hot. Very carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round, 3-inch deep baking dish. Swirl dish to cover bottom and sides. The caramel will harden as it cools.
• Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on High until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour the cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on High until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
• Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
• To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-cup Bundt or tube pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Drizzle the cajeta into the prepared pan, turning to coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the milks, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture into the pan. Place the pan inside a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides. Cover the Bundt pan with foil.
• Bake until the center jiggles slightly when pan is moved, about 1 hour 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours or overnight.
• Turn the flan out onto a platter. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve.

Steps:

• Make caramel:
• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until dark amber.
• Immediately pour into ramekins and swirl so caramel coats bottom of each, then put ramekins in a large roasting pan.
• Make flan:
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Blend 2 cups milk with remaining flan ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, then divide among ramekins.
• Bake flan in a water bath until just set but still wobbly in center, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and cool slightly on a rack, at least 15 minutes (flan will continue to set as it cools).
• Just before serving, run a thin knife around each flan, then invert onto plates.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Set 2 6 cup Savarin (or ring) molds in large baking pan.
• Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up sides. Set in oven.
• Cook sugar and water in heavy small saucepan until sugar dissolves, swirling pan occasionally.
• Increase heat and boil until syrup caramelizes.
• Pour half of syrup into each mold, tilting to coat sides.
• Quickly return molds to water bath.
• Gently blend milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon (if necessary) and salt in large bowl.
• Stir in coconut and chocolate powder.
• Divide mixture between molds; mixture should come to within 1/4 inch of top.
• Bake until custard is set and tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes (reduce oven temperature if water starts to boil or custard may curdle).
• Remove from water bath and cool.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, invert onto platters.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Add the sugar to the metal pan and melt over the stove at low-medium heat moving it with a wooden spoon until golden color. Turn the heat off a little before the desired color as it will continue to darken and it will burn if you are not careful. Very carefully and using oven mitts, swirl pan around while sugar is still soft to cover bottom and sides. It will get thicker as it cools and eventually harden as a lollipop. Set pan aside to cool.
• Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on High until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour the cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on High until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
• Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
• To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert flan onto a serving plate. Spoon any remaining caramel over the flan.

Steps:

• Make sure that the pan in which you are making your flan can be used on the stovetop.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
• Place the sugar and water in the flan pan (or a tube pan) and heat on medium heat until the mixtures carmelizes and turns a medium brown.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Place the condensed milk, egg yolks, coconut and milk into the blender and blend until well mixed.
• Slowly fold in the whites until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into the flan pan (over the caramel) and place the flan pan in a water bath in the oven.
• Bake for one hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
• When room temperature, unmold carefully by inverting onto a serving plate.
• The caramel will cover the top and run down the sides.
